"Oh my god, Taehyung. Holy shit, I'm so sorry I left you alone! I was drunk and out of my mind," Jimin exclaimed while tugging his fiery red hair exasperately.

"Hey, calm down and come in properly first." Taehyung was sitting on his bed, a book in his hand and earphones plugged into his ears. Quickly, he sat up and offered the redhead to take a seat next to him.

Immediately, Jimin rushed inside and plopped himself on the blonde's bed, relieved that his friend wasn't mad at him at all. "Okay, so... I'm really sorry. I was actually planning on staying with you the whole time but then I got wasted and then I thought I saw my girlfriend and... Ugh, I don't know."

Taehyung chucked the book away and smiled at him, surprisingly calmly. "I'm not judging you for it, it's okay. Something actually happened to me."

Jimin gasped.

"Shit, are you okay? Did you get hurt?" The younger boy shook his head. "Um... Jungkook was there."

The redhead's eyes turned as big as saucers.

"Oh my god. I didn't expect that. Did he do something to you? Did he humiliate you or something? I'm throwing hands at him--"

"No, no. Nothing like that!," Taehyung exclaimed while laughing a bit.

"It took me a long time to process it. Actually, I still haven't processed it fully." He could feel Jimin's eyes on him, expecting him to tell him what happened.

"Um... he dragged me into a bedroom. Not what you think, just because it was quiet in there!," he threw in, in response to Jimin's suddenly very alarmed gaze.

"Anyways, he told me to tell him how I fell in love with him. I was definetely very caught off guard since I couldn't believe he actually wanted to talk to me and at first, I thought he wanted to humiliate me. But nevertheless, I told him everything." He inhaled and exhaled deeply and slowly.

"Then he asked me why I never told him anything about it and then I told him because he's my straight best friend and all of that. And then... he k-kissed me." Once again, Jimin's eyes widened and his jaw dropped dramatically. This time, they were the widest they had been the entire time.

"What-- What the hell? Are you sure you didn't imagine this? Just... how?!," he blurted out, definetely not knowing how to deal with this specific piece of information.

"I don't know, okay?! Anyways, I was very shocked and I think so was he, honestly. He then told me 'I am so not straight' and then he kissed me again!" The red-haired male's jaw dropped even wider, close to hitting the floor at this point.

"No, this can't be real. You had to be dreaming. Or high. What in the world? How is this possible?!" Taehyung then shook his head and rolled down a bit his turtleneck pullover, so his neck was visible.

Something else was also visible.

A very prominent red-purple blotch, proudly showing on the center of his neck. "He didn't just kiss me, we got... further. We--"

"Oh my god, you had sex?! Did he fuck you? In a high school party?! I'm sorry, but that's not the most romantic place to lose your vir--"

Jimin got interrupted: "No, Jimin! We didn't! We just made out!," he defended himself, his cheeks blushing furiously.

"Ooohhh," the redhead teased, a smirk on his face. "I see. Close enough, though. But like, how the hell did this happen?" The younger boy shrugged, feeling his heart pound wildly once again by recalling the memories.

Jimin's question was a question he wanted to ask aswell. How the hell had it happened? Why did Jungkook do that? And most importantly...

How would this continue?

Would either one of them even attempt to explain the extremely confusing situation or would they just pretend this didn't happen? Would they ignore each other forever out of embarrassment?

This particular situation pained Taehyung with many, unnecessary thought that he didn't even know how to answer, not in the slightest.

"Okay, so I'm guessing you guys haven't talked since that happened," Jimin clarified. "I say, wait until next week and if he doesn't explain himself, you ask him what the hell that was. He was the one who started the kiss, I recall?" Taehyung nodded.

"It's just... so embarrassing, somehow. I don't even know," he mumbled, his cheeks still rosy.

"Aww, you're cute. But be glad, not everyone gets kissed by the one they're in love with. You're a real lucky man." Taehyung grinned, feeling his heart flutter once again.

°○●○●○°

"Jungkook? You in there?" The raven-haired boy could hear a knock on his door, humming loud enough for the person behind the door to hear.

As the door opened, an adult's head peeked through. Surprisingly enough, it wasn't Mrs. Jeon this time, but Mr. Jeon. "Is this a bad time? I can come back later, if you want me to. Your mom just told me something and I wanted to talk to you about it."

Having some assumptions about what this talk would be about, Jungkook nodded. "Sure, come in."

Was he mentally capable of getting through this discussion without freaking out? He had no idea.

Mr. Jeon took a seat next to him on the bed and looked at him calmly. "Your mother told me you were in love... with someone." Jungkook nodded, exhaling sharply.

"Yes dad, it's a boy. And yes dad, it's Taehyung, my best friend since childhood. Is that bad?," he asked, expecting to be judged and ridiculed. But nothing came.

"Oh no, don't get me wrong. I don't care who you love as long as you're happy and you can be yourself. And the relationship is healthy. But I'm just wondering, how? What about all your girlfriends?" Jungkook shrugged, but feeling a huge weight being lifted off his chest. He didn't expect his father to be this supportive.

"I don't know. It just happened. I thought it was a dumb little phase and some meaningless thoughts but it turned out to be a really hard crush. And from that, it turned into me being in love with him. All I think about is him. Stupid little details about him, unimportant, trivial habits of him. All of those just make my heart flutter and stuff. You know?" He could hear a small laugh from Mr. Jeon, turning a bit embarrassed.

"You really do love him, son. I can see that. You're smiling like an idiot right now, you know that?," he teased, making his son cover his mouth while blushing furiously.

"Ugh, whatever," he whined, his voice coming out very muffled since his hand was still blocking it.

"I just have one question. How did you switch from girls to boys so quick? Didn't you have a girlfriend a few months ago?" Jungkook shook his head, turning serious again.

"I didn't... switch, dad. It's different, I think I came to realize something that I never knew of before. I don't have to like one or the other and choose, I can like both and live my life normally while loving whoever I love, no matter if boy or girl. You understand? It's called being bisexual." After a while, Mr. Jeon nodded.

"I understand now. I'm glad you figured it out and I'm proud of you for being so brave. I just wish you would've told me earlier, I had no idea." Jungkook looked up, looking at his dad with a regretful gaze.

"I'm so sorry for not telling you earlier, dad. I really should've, but I was just so scared you wouldn't accept me or my love for Taehyung. I was going to tell you eventually, just much, much later. But now I see that you're totally fine with it and I wish would've told you much sooner," he expressed, his father hitting his shoulder lightly to let him know it was okay.

"Hey, don't you worry. I'm open to all of this and I believe that no one should be discriminated against, just because of who they love. Before your mother went out with me, I had to assure her that I was open-minded and tolerant towards everyone, she insisted. It was probably because of that friend of hers." He laughed lightly, his son furrowing his eyebrows.

"Friend? What friend, dad?" Mr. Jeon's dad formed an 'O' with his mouth, brushing it off.

"That's something you'll have to ask her. It's kind of a touchy subject, things got out of hand. But, please, a change of topic."

"Did you tell Taehyung how you feel? Your mom told me he was forced to confess to you because of some brutes, is that true?" The ravenette nodded tragically, inhaling deeply.

And then he told him about the incident with Jackson, Chris and Mark, the party and the kiss, leaving out the making out part since it seemed kind of inappropriate to him.

"And then, he just ran away. I was planning on telling him about my feelings but he was already gone. What if he doesn't love me anymore? What if my... obliviousness brought him so much pain that he doesn't want to see me again?" He huffed.

He was right, he had been extremely oblivious.

Every now and then, he had felt Taehyung gaze at him and that a bit more longer than usual. Also, the constant blushing when receiving any sort of affection by Jungkook.

He had brushed it off by thinking Taehyung was looking at him fondly in some sort of older brother-kind of way and he was just simply shy generally. But obviously, that had not been the case.

Jungkook really needed to stop making a fuss.

"Son, don't be so discouraged. He probably just got shocked since he doesn't know about your bisexuality. I say, explain it to him. Go to his house tomorrow." The younger boy groaned.

"Mom suggested that aswell. But she made me write, like, a ten-hour speech. I can't memorize that and I'm sure he wouldn't have the nerve to listen to so many complicated words." Mr. Jeon chuckled, shaking his head.

"Be a bit blunter. I have a much better plan, care to listen?" Jungkook's eyes lit up and he nodded entusiastically, feeling hopeful all of a sudden.

His father laughed. "Okay, so..."

And he started making suggestions which Jungkook gladly accepted, a wide smile on his face and his heart beating fastly out of relief and anticipation.
